TL;DR: Improvements in living conditions in Shanghai, such as increased use of air conditioning, larger living areas, and increased urban green space, along with higher levels of heat awareness and the implementation of a heat warning system, were responsible for the lower levels of human mortality in 2003 compared to 1998.

TL;DR: It was found that males and females have similar perceptions of maximum temperature; in the most comfortable environment, mood appears to have a significant influence on thermal comfort, but the influence of mood diminishes as the meteorological environment becomes increasingly uncomfortable.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of NRT GVF and albedo on the Noah land surface model (version 3.2) performances are examined against in situ measurements of surface net long wave radiation and net short wave radiation from 7 U.S. Surface Radiation Budget Network stations, and soil temperature and soil moisture from 9 USDA Soil Climate Analysis Network sites.

TL;DR: In this article, the maximum efficiency of the EnKF for assimilating observations into the models could be reached when the ensemble size is set to 12, and the simulations are perfectly consistent with the mathematical derivation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global Soil Moisture Operational Product System (SMOPS) has been developed to process satellite soil moisture observational data at the NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service for improving numerical weather prediction (NWP) models at the National Weather Service (NWS).
